Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or someone chasing your next level, this podcast uncovers what it actually takes to turn momentum into long-term success.Tony Berardo is a content agency owner, entrepreneur, and founder of the fast-growing brand Human Dad. In this episode, he breaks down what it really means to build a business that gives you freedom—not just financially, but with your time, your family, and your life. From walking away from corporate America to launching his agency during COVID, Tony shares the real story behind betting on yourself when everything feels uncertain. Tony opens up about surviving a major health scare, turning down high-paying job offers, and why becoming a father completely shifted his priorities. He dives into the realities of building a business from scratch, the importance of delegation, and why most entrepreneurs are chasing the wrong thing. He also shares how a single viral video changed his trajectory—and what actually separates content that converts from content that just gets views. At the core of this episode is a powerful philosophy: don’t build a business just to make money—build it to create time. Tony explains the concept of being a “dadpreneur,” why social media is more addictive than ever, and how disconnecting from your phone might be the key to getting your life back. He also unpacks the three pillars of real success: relationships, meaningful work, and purpose outside of business. This is a raw, honest conversation about entrepreneurship, fatherhood, discipline, and building a life you don’t regret.📲 Follow Elliott on IG: @elliottcaldwell https://www.instagram.com/elliottcaldwell/  🏡 Follow The Rise Collective: @the_rise_collective_ https://www.instagram.com/the_rise_collective_/ 🌐 More about The Rise Collective: https://rise-collective.com/  🔑 Explore BnB Turnkey: https://bnb-turnkey.com/  📩 Subscribe to the STR Report newsletter: https://thestrreport.com/  📲 Follow Our Guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theberardo/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/humandadbrand/?hl=enVisit www.humandad.com and use code DAD20 for 20% + Free Shipping
